Bridging geotechnical and structural disciplines through high-fidelity numerical modelling and experimental investigation of soil–pile–structure systems under seismic loading.
Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering with specialized expertise in Structural/Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI). Research bridges the gap between geotechnical and structural disciplines, utilizing high-fidelity numerical modelling and experimental investigations to evaluate the dynamic response of soil–pile–structure systems.
Expert in nonlinear soil behaviour, foundation dynamics, and the seismic performance of deep foundations under multi-directional loading. Actively engaged in funded research initiatives and graduate supervision, with specific experience mentoring diverse cohorts within the International Graduate Program.
Dedicated to advancing resilient infrastructure and incorporating research-driven approaches into teaching. Skilled in supporting international students through academic advising and research guidance.
Nonlinear dynamic analysis of coupled soil–pile–structure systems; kinematic and inertial interaction effects.
Experimental and numerical assessment of single piles and pile groups under vertical, lateral, and combined seismic loading.
High-fidelity modelling of soil nonlinearity and boundary conditions using advanced finite element methods.
Performance-based seismic assessment and retrofitting strategies for foundations in seismically active regions.
Lifecycle performance of foundation systems and innovative soil-foundation enhancement techniques.
Shake-table and base-excitation experiments to validate numerical models and characterise soil behaviour under cyclic loading.
